Narration In Favor Of Books My Life: An Attempt at an Autobiography

Trotskyists are one of the most reviled groups on the left...and I have been partly or wholly one my entire adult life. That said, it doesn't take a Trotskyist (or even a "TrotskyITE") to enjoy this book.

Think for a moment about living in a house with dirt floors; mud walls three feet thick in which snakes, some of them poisonous, dwell; but you have servants. This is the middle class home into which Trotsky was born.

Initially loathe to broadcast the particulars of his life, which he considered irrelevant, he was eventually coaxed into giving it up so that he could incorporate his ideas into the book. I found it fascinating.

Trotsky's life, as many know, was ended for him in exile in Mexico, after Stalin won power in the wake of Lenin's death. His own bodyguard was bought by the opposition, and planted an axe in the back of his head. (I don't consider this a spoiler, since Trotsky does not speak of it...obviously).

Give it a try, if you are fond of biographies and memoirs, and don't mind mixing in some political philosophy and Russian history. It's one hell of a ride.

Crit Of Books My Life: An Attempt at an Autobiography
Hablando con plena sinceridad, a este libro me acerqué principalmente por los elogios impartidos por Michel Deville en su libro Viva y en menor medida por una vaga simpatía respecto la figura de Trotsky, a quien creo que todavía se le puede asignar la casilla de la dignidad en un evento tan tumultuoso como ha sido la Revolución rusa y la posterior Unión Soviética. Un hombre que ha dedicado décadas de su vida a la lucha política por la dignidad del proletariado internacional (el adjetivo es

Utterly engaging, written with skill and a complete lack of genuine humility as befitting one of the titans of his era. Such a fascinating and divisive historical figure, who's fundamental beliefs could offer lessons in today's modern world.Having read other biographical works, most recently Robert Service 'Trotsky', I have come to question some of the established facts contained within, however that in no way diminishes an utterly enthralling read. In short, pure class.

Правдив ли Троцкий перед читателем? Со своей стороны он не может ошибаться. Но проще не говорить до конца, чтобы создать нужное о себе представление. Именно таким образом поступает Троцкий, рассказывая историю жизни. У читателя сложится впечатление, будто автор мемуаров существовал в ограниченной от всего среде. Он борется за что-то, не обосновывая мотивов. Троцкий игнорирует действия царских чиновников, не обращает внимания на политическую составляющую соперников по идеологии, он трудится во

Interesting biography...

I'm a bit surprised that this book has so few ratings. In my opinion it is one of the greatest works of the 20th century. I guess I shouldn't be surprised though, given the hatchet job that has been done on Trotsky's reputation and the Left oppposition (no pun intended). A great revolutionary and a great man, and what a life! This autobiography would make a brilliant film, but I won't hold my breath waiting for it.
